As of  4th quarter 2024 the Swifty Foundation will no longer be accepting donations directly. We have set up the Michael’s Master Plan Fund at the CHOP Foundation. The CHOP Foundation cannot use any Swifty/GFAC donor information. 100% of your donation will still be used to fund the work of the Swifty Foundation with Al and Patti Gustafson’s oversight. This fund will free Patti & Al up to attend to the program instead of daily accounting tasks. Swifty’s national post-mortem tissue donation program, Gift from a Child (GFAC) has become a program of the Children’s Brain Tumor Network (CBTN). This will take GFAC and Swifty to the next level. The CBTN is the world’s largest pediatric brain tumor biorepository and database. A portion of every GFAC tissue donation is stored at the CBTN and then shared with researchers around the world. The scientists, data statisticians and MBA’s that make up CBTN’s leadership can take GFAC to places we never could have alone. We are so excited by this partnership.

Swifty Foundation remains committed to respecting the privacy of our donors, whether the donation is made online, by mail, widget, application or any other method online and offline. Your information remains with Swifty. We will not share, sell, exchange or trade our donors’ personally identifiable information with any other entity. In addition, we will not send mailings to our donors on behalf of other organizations, third-party fundraising or marketing purposes.
